FEDERAL HOUSING PLAN SETS THE STAGE FOR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND SUPPLY

April 12, 2024 – OTTAWA, ON – The Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) applauds the release of the Federal Housing Plan today. The current housing crisis is not a sudden development –it stems from many years of problematic policy at all three levels of government in Canada – and CHBA has been advocating for years for a comprehensive plan at the federal, provincial and municipal levels to address housing affordability and housing supply. Housing is a complex issue that a single “solution” will not fix, and so this type of housing plan, which looks to address the many challenges that have compounded and resulted in Canada’s housing crisis, is exactly what CHBA has been calling for.
